Vol. XXVI, Issue 7
California Baptist College
Oct. 15,1982
So. Cal. Challenged By Keith Green Memorial
Keith Green, Christian
songwriter and musician,
killed in a tragic plane crash
last August, was known for
preaching a bold, uncompromising message of being
sold out totally for God.
For one last time,
thousands of Southern
Californians witnessed the
curly-haired Green sing and
play in the style uniquely his
own on a giant video screen
at the LA Sports Arena last
Saturday. For 30 minutes,
Keith Green was alive
again, speaking with an
almost unbearable conviction and earnestness in his
voice.
In this tape of the 'Jesus
82' festival, Green conveyed the message of his
last and greatest burden
from the Lord. He had
taken a trip to Europe
which had opened his eyes
to the "spiritual darkness'
of places outside of
America. Sparked by these
observations, he began to
investigate the status of
Christianity in the World
and then began to examine
God's Word in light of
what he found. Green came
to the conclusion that by
comparison, America was
tremendously evangelized
while the rest of the world
was barely being reached—
therefore, the highest
priority is to take the gospel
where it is needed most.
Singing songs with a
radical missions emphasis,
the 28 year old "prophet"
to his generation, boldly
challenged the audience
that "Jesus, commands us
to go, but we go the other
way." Stating that the Mormons expect every young
man to give two years of his
life to be a missionary, he
posed the quesiton of
"why, then, should it be
unreasonable to expect the
same from Christians?"
Once again singing the song
"Asleep in the Light" he
pleaded with his contemporaries to take seriously
Jesus' call to "see" and
"care" about the lost.
While the video was the
highlight of the evening, the
testimony of Keith's wife,
Melody, a concert by Bob
Ayala and his band, and a
stirring message by the
president of a Christian
missions organization called "Youth With A Mission", also contributed to
the challenge.
The speaker, a friend of
Green's, stressed the
significance of Southern
Californians in the future
of the world. He showed
how the English language,
the cultural diversity of this
area, and its resources make
it a crucial sending base for
the thousands desperately
needed new workers.
At the close of the evening, an invitation was given
and thousands stood,
acknowledging the call to
go "to the ends of the
earth." A very fitting
memorial to this man Keith
Green, who himself envisioned 100,000 young people going as missionaries
within this decade.

California Baptist College's
newly created humanities division, under the direction of
Dr. Wayne Swindall, offers
the largest and most diverse
curriculum in the college. The
humanities division includes
the formerly separated departments of English, modern
languages, philosophy, and
history, and the creation of
this new division will not only
coordinate the efforts of the
nine full-time faculty it includes but draw on other
departments in the college as
well.
Studies in the humanities
are not intended to be only for
the English major or the student of history. The
humanities form the core of
the curriculum of a liberal arts
college and train students in
any field how to think, feel,
speak, and write: how to express the things of man's soul.
Essentially, the humanities
are a study of what it means to
be human~of what it means to
have a fallen nature and yet to
strive for the fullness of
humanity which Christ embodied in his life here on
earth. We, as men and
women, are actually less than
human, for Christ alone was a
whole human. He was wholly
God and wholly man. A study
of the humanities is an effort
to learn to use our minds, control our emotions, and direct
our energies that we might
become better human beings-
human beings which might
glorify their Creator.
According to Dr. Swindall,
Associate Professor of
Philosophy, the Humanities
". . .are not worth much in the
market-place as are education,
business, or psychology, but
(they) strive to give breath and
depth to the humanity of the
psychologist, the merchant,
the teacher." Thus, the
humanities program at CBC is
essential to the program of the
college as a whole and consistent with its aim to prepare
Christian young people for
service in all walks of life.
"The more I learn about
human nature the human
history," Dr. George Musacchio, Professor of English
Literature, said, "the better I
can understand the Bible."
Last year, before the
humanities division had been
officially established, four
professors united their efforts
to offer an innovative and experimental course entitled
"The Modern Period." This
disciplines of history, English,
philosophy, and the modern
languages, the division will
also draw on the departments
of music, art, and drama for
special events during interterm and through the year to
accentuate the medieval
theme.
Through the various clubs
which are part of this division-
-the English club, history club,
Socratic club, and Spanish
club-students are planning
extra-curricular events which
correspond with the theme and
purpose of the division as a
whole.
Another feature the
humanities division is in the
process of initiating is an
honors program by which
students might complete
special studies in the
humanities to supplement
their ordinary major requirements and graduate with
distinction.
The humanities division at
California Baptist College
promises to offer students a
6-unit course was an intensive better understanding of what
study of the forces which have
shaped the Twentieth Century,
as seen from the perspectives
of history, art, philosophy and
literature.
This year the humanities
division has selected "The
Medieval Period" as its
theme, and a similar, team-
taught inter-term course will
be the main expression of that
theme. In addition to the
it means to receive a high
quality Christian education.
